Touch entry display mount

ABSTRACT

A display mount is attached to a slatwall using an improved slatwall hanger. The display mount includes vertically pivoting arms providing forward and rearward movement of the display with only slight vertical movement. The slatwall hanger is attached to the slatwall by sandwiching at least one vertical face of a slat between a cover and a clamping member. The cover includes at least one outer lip residing against the front of the vertical face and the clamping member includes at least one inner lip residing against the rear of the vertical face. The clamping member is biased away from the cover by a spring to facilitate insertion of the inner lips between open spaces between consecutive slats. Screws connect the clamping member to the cover and are tightened to grasp the vertical slat face between the lips.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to display mounts and in particular to animproved display mount including an improved load bearing slatwallequipment hanger.

In some control center environments, visual access to displays iscritical in performing vital functions. Display mounts must provideadjustment for the best viewing positions to minimize fatigue. Knownmonitor mounts include stacked pivoting arms which provide movement inliterally any direction. In some applications there is a desire torestrict movement to in-out for the arm while maintaining a tilt/pivotmotion of the monitor. Such in-out motion could be achieved using aparallel horizontal arm structure. Unfortunately, parallel horizontalarms cannot efficiently support the weight of some monitors.

Other known display mounts include slides for forward and rearwardmotion. At full extension such slides have reduced rigidity and may bindor fail. Additionally, sliding mounts require two slides for stability,much like a drawer would have. The two slides on a carriage may feelreasonably stable in the closed position, but as the slides approach theextended position there is excessive lateral instability and there isnothing forcing the slides to extend synchronously, and a slide mountwhich requires a short compressed length has poor stability whenextended.

Further, display mounts are often mounted to a slatwall and are attachedto the slatwall using equipment hangers and clamps. Such slatwallscomprises a multiplicity of vertically spaced apart parallel horizontalslats (e.g., “T” shaped features). The slatwall hangers may includeeither an offset which hooks in and up, or a “J” that hooks in and down.The slatwall provides an easily reconfigurable mounting system withsimple addition, removal, and adjustment of hangers.

Some equipment requires clamping the hangers to the slatwall to fix thehanger position preventing the easy movement of the hangers. Knownslatwall clamps reach above a higher slat and below a lower slat, andare drawn together to clamp the hanger to the slatwall. While thisprovides an effective method of securing the hanger, because thevertically opposed clamps are drawn together, the amount of verticalforce exerted on the slats may be excessive, causing stress on ahorizontal portion of the slat, and sometimes breaking the slat evenbefore any load is applied by the hanger.

With very heavy loads and long lever arms, the stress on the slat can beexcessive. This coupled with the stress from the opposing clamps makesthe slat the weak link in the assembly.

Because installations may require a large number of hangers, clamps andclips to be attached to the slatwall, the horizontal portion of theslats can not be made thicker. Therefore, a need exists for a hangerwhich reduces that stress on a standard slatwall structure.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention addresses the above and other needs by providing adisplay mount which is attached to a slatwall using an improved slatwallhanger. The display mount includes vertically pivoting arms providingforward and rearward movement of the display with only slight verticalmovement. The slatwall hanger is attached to the slatwall by sandwichingat least one vertical face of a slat between a cover and a clampingmember. The cover includes at least one outer lip residing against thefront of the vertical face and the clamping member includes at least oneinner lip residing against the rear of the vertical face. The clampingmember is biased away from the cover by a spring to facilitate insertionof the inner lips between open spaces between consecutive slats. Screwsconnect the clamping member to the cover and are tightened to grasp thevertical slat face between the lips.

In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided aTouch Entry Device (TED) mount having parallel pivoting on horizontalaxles providing maximum stability and minimizing the mounting envelopeand provide a tighter compressed length than slides. The parallel armspivot in a vertical plane from a rearward reposition, to a verticalposition, to a forward position, holding a moveable carrier parallel toa fixed hanger. The arms pivot through small angles minimizing verticalcarrier motion while providing adequate horizontal motion. The weight ofthe arms, carrier, and monitor applies torque to pin and sleeveassemblies of the horizontal axle pairs pushing to each pin and sleeveof each axle pair to opposite sides creating rotational friction in theaxles, rather than sliding friction, provides a rigid yet smooth feelthrough the stroke.

In accordance with another aspect of the invention, there is provided aTED mount having arms only slightly wider than the pivoting mechanism inorder to rotate a monitor without interference. The horizontal axlesallow having an arm width only limited by the mounting envelope.Vertical axles would allow a greater vertical size, but would require anarrower arm width. The wider arm allowed by the horizontal axleprovides better left-to-right stability and the geometry of the armsprovides more than adequate vertical stability because the weight of theassembly, including the monitor, is holding the parallel arm in a restedposition.

In accordance with yet another aspect of the invention, there isprovided a TED mount having arms comprising opposing C-channels whichpartially overlapping but do not touch. The C-channel arm designprovides greater strength than blades, overlap to eliminate pinchpoints, and are opposing to create a closed box look. The front armincludes inset lips which enter the rear arm, allowing the front arm toride inside the rear arm, and eliminating pinch points. As the armsswing their separation changes, but the inset lips fill the gap over therange of arm motion. The inset lips of the front arm allows the bodiesof the front and rear arms to be the same width and use the same pivothardware used with the other axles of the TED mount, and still closesoff the box, eliminating the pinch points.

In accordance with still another aspect of the invention, there isprovided a TED mount having a hanger and carrier which are closed boxesfor strength and aesthetics, and include ribs which provide stops tolimit forward and rearward motion of the arms.

In accordance with another aspect of the invention, there is provided aTED mount having a triangular shaped hanger to act as a gusset,maximizing strength at the TED mount while minimizing the verticalheight at the front where the equipment boxes are pivoting.

In accordance with yet another aspect of the invention, there isprovided a TED mount having a hanger and carrier including reliefs cutinto the hanger and carrier above and below the axles. The reliefs allowthe interior dimensions of the hanger and carrier to be somewhat greaterthan the axle sleeves while allowing axle attachment portions of thehanger and carries to be compressed against the sleeves when the axlebolts are tightened—eliminating the twisting of the hanger and carrierwhich would otherwise occur.

In accordance with another aspect of the invention, there is provided aTED mount having rotating cable ties. The rotating ties allow cables torotate when the carrier is moved to reduce stress on the cables.

In accordance with another aspect of the invention, there is provided aslatwall hanger which eliminate stress created by known clamp onhangers. The slat wall hanger includes opposing inner and outer lipswhich sandwich vertical faces of the slats and do not apply verticalforces to the slats. The inner lips are inserted between the verticalslat members and dropped into position behind the vertical slat members.The inner and outer lips are then drawn together to horizontallysandwich the vertical slat members, applying no vertical clamping forceon the slats. Such sandwiching the vertical slat members eliminates ofthe stress on the slat that's associated with the known clamping action.As a result, the slats can carry more weight without making the slatsphysically larger to increase strength, with a resulting loss in thenumber of hangers which may be attached to the slatwall.

In accordance with another aspect of the invention, there is provided aslatwall hanger which sandwiches the vertical slat members between innerand outer lips rather than grasping vertically spaced apart slats.Rubber bumpers and/or rubber stick-on pads are attached to the outerlips to protect vertical faces of the slats from scratches.

In accordance with still another aspect of the invention, there isprovided a slatwall hanger having inner and out lips biased apart. Inorder to engage the slatwall, the inner lip has to be pushed inwardbetween adjacent slats. The larger the slatwall hanger, the moredifficult this installation method is. To improve the ease ofinstallation, a spring is incorporated biasing the inner and outer lipsapart, making it easier to engage the slatwall hanger with the slatwall.After positioning the slatwall hanger on the slatwall, the lips aredrawn together using screw, levers, or other mechanical apparatus.
